Dante heard the two rush of, relaxing a bit. Finally. He stayed where he was just a moment before jolting. He chest! He grabbed at it and lurched forward in pain, biting back a groan before forcing himself to his feet. It hit again so quickly, though. He gasped sharply and stumbled back, his heart racing faster than ever.
It hurt! Damn, it hurt! His bones burned, feeling as if they were melting. His muscles pulled and constricted. His eyes were wild in agony. He looked to the back door and stumbled towards it, trying his best to get inside. Then it hit again... "Gh...!" He winced and fell face first into the snow, forcing his arm up to his mouth as his body curled, biting hard onto it to supress his scream. All that was left was a shivering, hardly conscious child in an over sized sweater and deflated pants. The cold quickly bit as his legs, feet, face, but he hardly went to move. His body throbbed and blood trickled from his arm, his eyes spinning the the bright darkness of the snow. He just wanted to hide... |
Oni ran after Gabriel throwing his snowball and missing the man completely. Oni went to jump over the log and fell instead. He pulled himself up and turned saying, "Dante you ne... " He stopped in mid sentence not seeing his friend behind him. "Dante. . .Dante!" he yelled frantically. He went back over the log and began to run back.
|
Gabriel Gabriel froze to a stop, hearing the quiet yelp and then Oni's yelling. "Damn.." With inhuman speed he raced back to the Inn, completely passing Oni and picking up the now child Dante. "I've got you.." Kissing the boys forehead he yelled back to Oni. "Oni come inside, were going to have hot cocoa!" With that he walked inside, huddling the small child to his chest." |
Dante's eyes were distant as he panted, trying to expel all of the heat from his body. He didn't need warmth, he needed to cool down. He didn't notice someone touching him, only the sudden lift and the pressure at his side. His eyes carefully traced Gabriel's face before closing as he went limp. "S-Sorry..." He muttered weakly. "I'm pretty useless these days, huh?" He breathed and attempted to crack a grin at the man. His body just felt worn out; more so than usual. The whole transformation... it seemed to take less time than usual. In fact, he had reverted back faster than usual as well the other night. Was it something that bastard had done to him? He swallowed before looking up at the ceiling, tracing the tiles with his eyes as they passed by them.
|
((sorry well went out and we had to bring in our water supplies))
Oni ran as fast as he could back to the inn. It wasn't a great distance but he was alone again and outside. He was panicking and yelling, "Dante!" He pushed his way inside and found Gabriel and the now mini Dante quickly. He said frantically, "Is he okay? Did something bad happen? Dante?" He wanted to grab Dante from Gabriel but he knew he shouldn't if Dante was hurt. |
Gabriel Gabriel went straight to the kitchen getting an icepack from the freezer and wrapping a rag around it. After he placed it on Dante's forhead, looking down at the boy. "You arent useless. Never think that." He smiled and kept the boy in his arms as he quickly made three hot cocoa. After that he sat down at the table placing his cold hand on Dante's cheek trying to cool the boy down. |
Dante heard Oni's voice in the background. He squirmed a bit, just his body wasn't responding normally. Everything felt torn and weak. He groaned and went limp again before looking to Oni. "I'm fine. My heart condition was acting up it all. Remember...?" He smiled weakly to the boy before closing his eyes again. Then... there was that ice pack. It felt so nice... he leaned his head against Gabriel's arm as he let his body relax.
He hardly understood what was happening until Gabriel touched his cheek. He fluttered his eyes open and looked up at Gabriel, then around at the new scenery. "Don't leave Oni alone..." He muttered before looking up into Gabriel's eyes. "He scares easy..." |
Oni looked at Dante with worried eyes. He did remember his heart condition but he had never actually seen Dante change before or knew it was so painful. He wanted to touch Dante but was scared he would cause more pain. "You'll be okay right," his voice a little shaky.
|
Gabriel Gabriel looked over at Oni and motioned with his head to the seat neck to him. "Sit here Oni and drink your hot cocoa while we wait for Dante to cool down okay?" He smiled at the boy and stroked Dante's cheek lovingly with his cold hands. "Dont worry, he's right here. He's protective of you I can see." He smiled. |
Oni sat down obediently still worried about his friend. He sipped absently at the hot chocolate but not really tasting it. He said softly, "Yeah that's cause Dante is my dragon king." He curled up on his seat and watched his friend closely. He didn't like it when Dante was hurting. His mind starting going back to when the men had beaten him. Tears starting coming down silently and he was sad but also mad.
|
Dante's head was still spinning. This was taking too long to recover. He groaned and shook his head away from Gabriel's hand and gripped the man's shirt, pulling close to it. "I feel sick..." He muttered before breathing deep and forcing himself to sit up. He looked over at Oni, he eyes going wide at what he saw. He was... crying!? "O-Oni! Don't... don't cry!" He panicked, trying to reach over to the boy, before nearly falling from Gabriel's lap in the process.
|
Gabriel Gabriel caught Dante and pulling him back into his lip leaning back, completely balanced and grabbling a bowl from the counter, incase Dante edned up emptying his stomach. |
Dante breathed deep again before leaning against the cool vampire and pulling weakly at the collar of the giant heavy sweater on him. Oni shouldn't be crying; no one should be crying for Dante. It drove him nuts. He was fine. That was all that mattered, right? Pain was nothing as long as you lived.
He whimpered and laid his head on Gabriel's shoulder, closing his eyes suddenly. "I'll be fine, I swear... Just... lemme get changed..." |
Oni knew that he had been the reason Dante almost fell. He got a small pit of guilt in his stomach and bit his bottom lip. He wiped away his tears and said quickly, "I-it's okay Dante I-I'm not crying. I'm gonna be strong." He looked up at Gabriel and said, "S-should we have him lay down in bed or something? So he can rest."
|
Gabriel Gabriel looked down at Dante and nodded, kissing the boy's forehead. "Alright...." Turning to Oni he smiled. "Lets just go upstairs so he can change, ok?" Standing up he held Dante in one arm and offered his other hand to Oni. |
Oni clasped on tightly to Gabriel's hand not realizing how much he was gripping the vampire. "Okay that sounds good," he said quietly as they moved upstairs. He really hoped his friend would be alright. He felt nervous but it seemed that Gabriel liked Dante in the same way he liked Lukas. He figured that Gabriel would want Dante to feel better as well.
|
Gabriel Gabriel didnt mind the boys grip on his hand and slowly ascended the stairs and brought Dante to his room. Placing him on the bed he gave Dante some clothes to sleep in and slightly yawned almost simotaneously with Dante. With a smile he looked to Oni. "Would you like to sleep with me and Dante Oni?" |
He said to the vampire quietly a little embarrassed, "Yes please. . .but um do you have a clean shirt I can borrow?" He didn't want to sleep in his somewhat wet cloths from playing outside in the snow. He shuffled his feet a bit.
|
Gabriel Gabriel nodded and grabbed a shirt from Dante's closet, a plain white tshirt, and handed it to Oni. Shrugging out of his jacket and hanging it on the back of Dante's door he un buttoned his shirt, his scarred welltoned muscles being revealed with each button. Tossing it onto the closet floor he grabbed another of Dante's shirts and a pair of pajamas pants Gabe had left in here. Dropping his own pants he quickly put on the pajama pants. |
"Thank you," he said quietly to Gabriel. Typical Oni began to strip right there not really bothered by having other people there or even thinking about it. He had to peel it all off since most of it got wet. He pulled the shirt on, it now being the only thing he was wearing. He looked at Gabriel and asked, "Um is it okay if I lay next to Dante?"
|
Gabriel Gabriel smiled and crouched down to ruffle the boys hair. "Why dont we let him sleep between us?" Standing up he looked over at the already asleep Dante smiling. Climbing over Gabriel let his back rest against the wall and wrapped an arm around Dante, leaving Dante's front for Oni to cuddle. |
Oni gave a small weak smile to Gabriel and said to him, "yeah that sound good." Oni climbed in the bed and cuddled against Dante. With all the energy and excitement from playing outside Oni was now beginning to find himself drowsy. As he cuddled Dante his eyes began to droop and in no time at all he was fast asleep.
(( Oh crap I forgot this whole time Oni can only speak Italian)) |
[[um...why??]]
|
(( it's part of what the facility did to him. His mind sort of went into overload a while back and then it staled on Italian. He doesn't understand English right now.
We can say for the most part that Dante just translated or something haha)) |
